Today's NFL flyover

Right, one cessna wouldn't be very cool.  That's why they said they'd want 5 of them in formation.

CAP does flyovers all the time, you just can't have planes in formation, although that has been done on rare occasion with NHQ permission.

I was told in no uncertain terms that CAP can not and will not fly over a stadium.  I'm guessing it's a liability issue.

I was approached by the Jaguars and invited to do a flyover for a monday night football game next season, and had to decline after being told that by people at wing. 

I'm going to guess that this is an overzealous interpretation of CAPR 60-1, para 2-1 prohibiting aerobatic flights or formation flying.  I won't argue that whoever told you was right or wrong simply because it is their aircraft and they are responsible for it.  I do think that such a flight would be just really super awesome and would be great for PR (it is Monday Night Football after all).  I guess this will just fall into the black hole with other items like CAP sponsorship of an air show or various awards and decorations...

You didn't mention that.

Heh - one of our Cessnas could probably land on a C5 mid-air.  Now that I'd pay to see!

[Duke Dillio]

Even 5 in formation at 2,000 ft AGL would be difficult to see.  Me thinks that NHQ should have gotten involved in that whole thing but the answer probably would have been the same.

So next time, just point them at NHQ first, and then let it filter down to five units get picked, if anything becomes of it.

I sent it up my chain of command.  It didn't make it to NHQ before it was nixed.  That decision was made at wing level.

Tell 'em you know a guy who will deliver the game ball for free via parachute....

the flyover was cool. The military capability of United States is not defined by attack aircraft alone.
That being said, Steven Tyler should be shot and his ashes scattered upon the four winds for that "performance".  And before you chastise me I was born and raised in Massachusetts and I am a lifelong Aerosmith fan.............
